And Spargo and Sparrow are both 22 or under. We had 8 who were 22 or under on Monday.

Didn’t David King say we had to win the flag this year, because the Dogs have the oncoming talent to wrap it up for the next 3 or 4? He really has no idea.

The Dogs will add Darcy to their list this year as FS that will give them 3 young key forwards with Naughton.  This is the only area we don't have any real young talent 

If we can keep the Perth trio signed on and happy in Melbourne we're pretty well set up for some consistent football for quite some time. The three of them have such high ceilings. We're clearly drafting very well the last few years but the player development within the club has been outstanding. So keen to see how Rosman, Laurie, Turner and Smith develop with a few preseasons under their belt.

To me there's only a handful of players who have had a bit of time at the club with whom the jury is still out whether they can perform at AFL level and thats Baker, Bedford and Chandler. Its as much about our depth probably keeping them from opportunity then anything else as well.

I've left out the two mid season recruits. As you can see from footywire's squad list they're still a bit too young to play AFL yet.

Yes, there are new umpires coming through to replace Margetts and Razor Ray.

Zero nominations in 2020 to five nominations in 2021. That’s no mean feat! ❤️💙

Bedford and Chandler in particular have had no chance to develop given the lack of VFL in the past  couple of years.  Having said that I agree that their positions on the list are questionable.

But geez, they’d look adorable running out in their little red and blue onesies.

Oozes self confidence for someone his age and experience.

In fairness, his debut was horrible. Never seen a worse one. Even in the Neeld days. 

Guessing you missed Jack Watt's debut then?

yes, the comments at the time were petty

Unfortunately, those who made them won't back down.

Hopefully Laurie and Rosman as well. Skies the limit for this group.!!!

Two greats to come amongst a couple of others (whose names I cannot instantly remember) to strengthen how we are going to look in 2022.

Don't overlook Petty in front of goals ... time will come.

I hope Petty can take May's spot in 2-3 years and continue on with Lever down back.  We have Fritsch and Weiderman I think both are around 24 years old, I haven't given up on Weiderman just needs to stay healthy through pre-season

Can't remember exactly which year but didn't he debut, perhaps prematurely, v Saints after which many here vilified him and called for his immediate delisting (if not dismemberment)?

His purported failure was entirely due to a coaching failure. In the last quarter of a close game, his first, he was left one out in the goal square against a saintless forward (I think Bruce) who was just too strong and too experienced and was able to score. It was the failure by the coaches that cost us the game.

May and Lever and even Petty would make sure that this will not happen again.

Good point you make, it would be a cruel cut considering that  they've had little to no opportunity to play. I have sympathy for any player that gets cut this year, but we know the list has to turnover.. Looking at the players coming out of contract this years there's only 2 players who I think will retire. Many of the rest will be on tenterhooks:

Senior List:

  • Baker
  • Bedford
  • Hore
  • Jetta - probable retirement
  • Jones Probable retirement
  • Lockhart
  • Hibberd 
  • Smith.J 
  • VDB
  • Weideman 

Rookies:

  • Brown.M
  • Chandler
  • Daw
  • Nietschke
  • Smith.D
  • Bradtke
  • Declase
  • Turner

 

  • 2 weeks later...

The irony of 2019 being an awful season (after the high of 2018) is we were able to land these three.

Blessing in disguise.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
